However, Fourth Master was clearly not in much interest. After lying down, he said that the lights were off, and soon the room was pitch black.

Song was not such an unruly person, and upon seeing this, she understood.

Her eyes were gently closed, but in the deep of night, a thin line remained at the corner of her eye, one after another, wetting her dark hair.

Song was a stubborn person who often couldn't figure things out, and once she did, she would go on and on, unable to find peace.

The Fourth Prince was naturally unaware of Madam Song's thoughts. He was drunk and didn't have any other thoughts on his mind. After seeing the eldest princess, he was thinking about the children in the manor.

The Fourth Master was preoccupied with something, and he was in a daze, not knowing when he would finally find peace.

——

Song Shi and the Fourth Prince were not the only ones in the mansion who were having trouble sleeping.

After returning from the palace, the Fujin (principal wife) inquired about the situation at the Ulanara residence, visited the Second Prince, and then quickly ate a few bites of dinner before retiring.

But in the dead of night, the princess still woke up in a fright.

She mumbled something in her sleep, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember it very clearly. When she came to her senses again, Yu Ru was handing her warm tea with a concerned expression.

"What's wrong, Master? Are you having a nightmare?"

The princess took a sip of tea, finally feeling a bit better. She cleared her throat and asked, "Where did you rest today, sir?"

Yu Ru glanced at the Fujin's face and tucked the blanket around her: "She rested at Song Gege's place. I guess she went to see the eldest princess and didn't call for water."

After listening to this, the princess pondered for a while before saying, "Having children is always better than not having children."

Yu Ru put down her teacup and said in a low voice, "Yes. These past few days, Consort Liu has been very eager to see the Fujin."

Upon hearing this, the Princess Consort said, "Let her be anxious a little longer," without revealing whether she was laughing or not.

"By the way, how long will Niohuru's confinement last?" The Fujin lay back down, but suddenly remembered something else.

Yu Ru pondered for two seconds: "Hey, if we count the days, by mid-November, we'll have missed Master's birthday."

The princess sneered, "They're all so ambitious, they need to be tempered to learn their lesson. This time, there's no need to show mercy and let her out."

Yu Ru replied, "What you say is true, Madam. It's getting late, and we'll be busy these next few days. Please rest, Your Highness."

The princess hummed in agreement: "Rest now."

Yu Ru stayed with her for a while longer, and only left after the Fujin had rested.
